The wool is cleaned. At this point the fleece is full of lanolin
and often contains extraneous vegetable matter, such as sticks, twigs,
burrs and straw. These may all be removed, though lanolin may be left in
the wool till after the spinning, a technique known as spinning 'in the
grease'. Indeed if the fabric is to be water repellent, lanolin is not
removed at any stage.Washing the wool at this stage can be a tedious process. Some people wash it a small handful at a time very carefully, and then set it out to dry on a table in the sun. Others will wash the whole fleece. Lanolin is removed by soaking the fleece in very hot water. If the fleece gets agitated, it will become felt, and then spinning is impossible. Felting, when done on purpose (with needles, chemicals, or simply rubbing the fibers against each other), can be used to create garments.
